I have a client that doesn’t want the messaging components to be hidden underneath the member heading, so we’re trying to pull that out into its own section of the site however I’m drawing a blank on where to even begin to do this.

Anyone know of a theme or plugin that’s already doing this sort of thing that I could learn from, or have any advice on where to start and what issues to look out for?

Anyone have any thoughts on this? Still struggling with moving this core component its own page.

There are lots of CSS hooks so you can customize the look of your messages pages. It would be easiest to just use some creative theming and create the effect. You could hide most profile information/avatar using CSS.

Or you could also try creating a custom page template using the private messages loop and adjust the parameters to suit your needs.

I’ll be doing this as well – there seems to be a bit of interest in the concept!
